Folks,

when I configure a router from console, I usually plug into
the console port with a PC running windows and use
Hyperterminal.  What is a good alternative terminal emulator
I can use with a Linux box.

Try minicom. It should be standard on any Linux distribution.

If the router is connected to your network, can't you simply telnet into
it?  However, it may not recognize a TERM type of 'linux', so you might
want to use xterm or export TERM=vt100 before connecting.
